[@60silva]

MJ....and it's not even close!

[@apollo4718]

Beethoven, Bach, Coltrane, Robert Johnson and The Beatles.

Great video!! 🔥💯

Chaos theory would say the longer you wait the closer everyone's influence is to each other.

[@jayscott5387]

Michael Jackson. My youngest daughter is 7 and she knows Who Michael Jackson is and his music. Her children's children will know his music and who Michael Jackson is, and so on and so on to the end of times. No contest MJ the greatest timeless music that will last forever.

Louis Armstrong Bessie Smith Bing Crosby - the first music/movie star since Bing won an Oscar. Bing was Frank's idol. Billie Holiday - another one of Frank's influences Ella Fitzgerald Frank Sinatra Elvis Presley - there'd be no Beatles without Elvis. They said so. The Beatles James Brown - Michael's biggest influence Aretha Franklin Michael Jackson Whitney Houston You really should acknowledge female artists since Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston pretty much influenced everyone whom came after them.

Herman's Hermits, Sam The Sham and the Batman symbol. I liked how you mentioned Frank wasn't in the war. My grandfather was in the war; and so, of course, didn't become a famous crooner. In fact, my grandfather had to drag my grandmother out of Frank's hotel room after he got back from overseas. It's always been interesting to me that Frank suffered a vocal chord hemorrhage early in his career. I think his voice changed after that. But that's the Frank I love - less vibrato, more focus of phrasing. I liked your video.

⁠ ⁠ for your next video can you please do how Rock artists inspire and influence by Bob Marley.

[@proinseasburke2681]

Apart from those artists, J.S. Bach whose music has influenced practically every genre.

[@michaelwu7678]

I'm honestly so confused by this video. Does she not think musicians outside the pop music industry are "artists"?

[@electricmastro]

The one behind you, Little Richard, would prob be it if only one. George Harrison and Michael Jackson outright named him as inspirations, and the rock genre, as well as music in general, would prob be the most different if Little Richard didn't exist.

[@ricorico33]

Beatles are the most influential artist of all times, no doubt about it.

[@midchris]

He mostly didn’t serve in ww2 because of his birth his ear was damaged he couldn’t hear well plus he also was too famous to risk but he did go over seas to sing for military

[@awogbob]

Was this written by ai? I couldn't think of a more boring obvious and non interesting list. And you spoiled the list in the thumbnail. I apologize for being rude if you did put a lot of work into this but I just think the video would be improved if you hid the answers and explored the discussion more deeply

[@DawlessHouseMusic]

Chuck Berry started more bands than anyone

[@pezogbi2]

Madonna is the most influential Artist of the last 200 years.

[@michaelwu7678]

Hahahahahahahahaha 😂

[@theophilos0910]

So riddle me this : Why aren’t there any Mozarts or Bachs or Beethovens producing great western Art Music in the 21st century ? And John Cage & Phillip Glass[man] do NOT count ! LoL

[@regisisasregisdoes3320]

Esa-Pekka Salonen?

[@andrewkathe3471]

Me

[@debjorgo]

Sinatra was 31 before he recorded his first album. Not exactly a teen idol.

[@midchris]

But he did start as a teen tho he started early in late 1920s to early 30 since he had been on radio

[@debjorgo]

@@midchris Yeah, I remember an old, animated cartoon short that had Hollywood stars out at a bar. A young Sinatra was singing, and the young girls were swooning. "Oh, Frankie!"

[@midchris]

@@debjorgo I believe it’s a Warner bros short

[@debjorgo]

@@midchris Yeah, I was thinking either Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies, which were Warner Bros products, for those who don't know..

[@OMJ_the_Show]

Elvis. Reshaped culture.

[@mathanrave]

Ludwig van Beethoven 💪

[@helenapereira8547]

Bach

[@daridgely]

The obvious answer is Bob Dylan.

[@michaelwu7678]

What is this video talking about lol. Such a myopic view of music history. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. were all infinitely more influential than these people.
